The book of Ruth, along with
Judges, deals with Israel from the
death of Joshua to the rule of Eli.
The date of the book is uncertain;
it is “…in the days when the judges
ruled…” (Ruth 1:1).
The book is a tender love story
that is heart - warming with the
emotions of love, commitment,
faithfulness, sacrifice, and honor.

The book of Ruth deals with three
major characters - Ruth, Naomi,
and Boaz.
As we will see, Ruth (Moabite) is a
principled person who comes to
God and is blessed by God.
This is the story of a woman and
how she comes to be a part of the
lineage of Jesus.

David, the Son of Abraham:
2 Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob
begot Judah and his brothers.

Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram.
4 Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon,
and Nahshon begot Salmon.

Ruth 1:1-5 - Now it came to pass, in the days when the
judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a
certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the
country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.
2 The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his
wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were
Mahlon and Chilion-Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And
they went to the country of Moab and remained there.
3 Then Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was
left, and her two sons.
4 Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name
of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth.
And they dwelt there about ten years.
5 Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman
survived her two sons and her husband.
c.f. Genesis 19:36-38.
36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by
their father.
37 The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab;
he is the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 And the younger, she also bore a son and called his
name Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the people of
Ammon to this day.

Ruth 1:6-15 - Then she arose with her daughters-in-law
that she might return from the country of Moab, for she
had heard in the country of Moab that the LORD had
visited His people by giving them bread.
7 Therefore she went out from the place where she was,
and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on
the way to return to the land of Judah.
8 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return
each to her mother's house. The LORD deal kindly with
you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
9 "The LORD grant that you may find rest, each in the
house of her husband." Then she kissed them, and they
lifted up their voices and wept.
10 And they said to her, "Surely we will return with you to
your people.“
11 But Naomi said, "Turn back, my daughters; why will
you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb, that
they may be your husbands?
12 "Turn back, my daughters, go-for I am too old to have a
husband. If I should say I have hope, if I should have a
husband tonight and should also bear sons,
13 "would you wait for them till they were grown? Would
you restrain yourselves from having husbands? No, my
daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that
the hand of the LORD has gone out against me!“
14 Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and
Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
15 And she said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back
to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-inlaw."

wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will
lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my
God.
17 Where you die, I will die, And there will I be buried.
The LORD do so to me, and more also, If anything but
death parts you and me.“
18 When she saw that she was determined to go with her,
she stopped speaking to her.
19 Now the two of them went until they came to
Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to
Bethlehem, that all the city was excited because of them;
and the women said, "Is this Naomi?“

Ruth 2:1-3 - There was a relative of Naomi's husband, a
man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech. His name
was Boaz.
2 So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Please let me go
to the field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose
sight I may find favor." And she said to her, "Go, my
daughter.“
3 Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after
the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the
field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of
Elimelech.

Deuteronomy 24:19.
Leviticus 19:9-10 - 'When you reap the harvest of your
land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field,
nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10 'And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you
gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave
them for the poor and the stranger: I am the LORD your
God.
Deuteronomy 24:19 - "When you reap your harvest in
your field, and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not
go back to get it; it shall be for the stranger, the
fatherless, and the widow, that the LORD your God may
bless you in all the work of your hands.

Ruth 2:4-16 - Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem,
and said to the reapers, "The LORD be with you!" And
they answered him, "The LORD bless you!“
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the
reapers, "Whose young woman is this?“
6 So the servant who was in charge of the reapers
answered and said, "It is the young Moabite woman who
came back with Naomi from the country of Moab.
7 "And she said, 'Please let me glean and gather after the
reapers among the sheaves.' So she came and has
continued from morning until now, though she rested a
little in the house.“
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, "You will listen, my daughter,
will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go
from here, but stay close by my young women.
9 "Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go
after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to
touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels
and drink from what the young men have drawn.“
10 So she fell on her face, bowed down to the ground,
and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your eyes,
that you should take notice of me, since I am a
foreigner?“
11 And Boaz answered and said to her, "It has been fully
reported to me, all that you have done for your motherin-law since the death of your husband, and how you have
left your father and your mother and the land of your
birth, and have come to a people whom you did not know
before.
12 "The LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given
you by the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings you
have come for refuge.“
13 Then she said, "Let me find favor in your sight, my lord;
for you have comforted me, and have spoken kindly to
your maidservant, though I am not like one of your
maidservants.“
14 Now Boaz said to her at mealtime, "Come here, and
eat of the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the
vinegar." So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed
parched grain to her; and she ate and was satisfied, and
kept some back.
15 And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his
young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the
sheaves, and do not reproach her.
16 "Also let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her;
leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her."

Ruth 2:17-23 - So she gleaned in the field until evening,
and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an
ephah of barley.
18 Then she took it up and went into the city, and her
mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. So she brought
out and gave to her what she had kept back after she had
been satisfied.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, "Where have you
gleaned today? And where did you work? Blessed be the
one who took notice of you." So she told her mother-inlaw with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's
name with whom I worked today is Boaz.“
20 Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be
he of the LORD, who has not forsaken His kindness to the
living and the dead!" And Naomi said to her, "This man is
a relation of ours, one of our close relatives.“
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, "He also said to me, 'You shall
stay close by my young men until they have finished all my
harvest.'“
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is
good, my daughter, that you go out with his young
women, and that people do not meet you in any other
field.“
23 So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz, to
glean until the end of barley harvest and wheat harvest;
and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.

cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of
grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay
down.
8 Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled,
and turned himself; and there, a woman was lying at his
feet.
9 And he said, "Who are you?" So she answered, "I am
Ruth, your maidservant. Take your maidservant under
your wing, for you are a close relative.“
10 Then he said, "Blessed are you of the LORD, my
daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end
than at the beginning, in that you did not go after young
men, whether poor or rich.
11 "And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all
that you request, for all the people of my town know that
you are a virtuous woman.
12 "Now it is true that I am a close relative; however,
there is a relative closer than I.
13 "Stay this night, and in the morning it shall be that if he
will perform the duty of a close relative for you-good; let
him do it. But if he does not want to perform the duty for
you, then I will perform the duty for you, as the LORD
lives! Lie down until morning."

down here." So he came aside and sat down.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said,
"Sit down here." So they sat down.
3 Then he said to the close relative, "Naomi, who has
come back from the country of Moab, sold the piece of
land which belonged to our brother Elimelech.
4 "And I thought to inform you, saying, 'Buy it back in the
presence of the inhabitants and the elders of my people.
If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem
it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is no one but
you to redeem it, and I am next after you.'" And he said, "I
will redeem it.“
– C.f. Deuteronomy 16:18-20.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20 -"You shall appoint judges and
officers in all your gates, which the LORD your God gives
you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the
people with just judgment.
19 "You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show
partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of
the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
20 "You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may
live and inherit the land which the LORD your God is
giving you.
5 Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the
hand of Naomi, you must also buy it from Ruth the
Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to perpetuate the name
of the dead through his inheritance.“
6 And the close relative said, "I cannot redeem it for
myself, lest I ruin my own inheritance. You redeem my
right of redemption for yourself, for I cannot redeem it.“
7 Now this was the custom in former times in Israel
concerning redeeming and exchanging, to confirm
anything: one man took off his sandal and gave it to the
other, and this was a confirmation in Israel.
8 Therefore the close relative said to Boaz, "Buy it for
yourself." So he took off his sandal.
9 And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are
witnesses this day that I have bought all that was
Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, from
the hand of Naomi.
10 "Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon,
I have acquired as my wife, to perpetuate the name of the
dead through his inheritance, that the name of the dead
may not be cut off from among his brethren and from his
position at the gate. You are witnesses this day.“
11 And all the people who were at the gate, and the
elders, said, "We are witnesses. The LORD make the
woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah,
the two who built the house of Israel; and may you
prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem.
12 "May your house be like the house of Perez, whom
Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring which the
LORD will give you from this young woman."

had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his
body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the
Christ to sit on his throne,

resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in
Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.
32 "This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all
witnesses.
33 "Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and
having received from the Father the promise of the Holy
Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

says himself: 'The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right
hand,

that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both
Lord and Christ."

story that is heart - warming with
beautiful lessons:
Lessons about God and His great
